Congenital Hyperinsulinism - Types of Congenital Hyperinsulinism

Types of Congenital Hyperinsulinism

  • Transient neonatal hyperinsulinism
  • Focal hyperinsulinism
    • Paternal SUR1 mutation with clonal loss of heterozygosity of 11p15
    • Paternal Kir6.2 mutation with clonal loss of heterozygosity of 11p15
  • Diffuse hyperinsulinism
    • Autosomal recessive forms
      • SUR1 mutations
      • Kir6.2 mutations
      • Congenital disorders of glycosylation
    • Autosomal dominant forms
      • Glucokinase gain-of-function mutations
      • Hyperammonemic hyperinsulinism (glutamate dehydrogenase gain-of-function mutations)
      • Short chain acyl coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency
  • Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (thought to be due to hyperinsulinism but pathophysiology still uncertain: 11p15 mutation or IGF2 excess)

Famous quotes containing the words types of, types and/or congenital:

    Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.
    Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)

    The bourgeoisie loves so-called “positive” types and novels with happy endings since they lull one into thinking that it is fine to simultaneously acquire capital and maintain one’s innocence, to be a beast and still be happy.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    A society in which adults are estranged from the world of children, and often from their own childhood, tends to hear children’s speech only as a foreign language, or as a lie.... Children have been treated ... as congenital fibbers, fakers and fantasisers.
    Beatrix Campbell (b. 1947)
